Football player in the penalty box?

October 10, 2011

Unlike Hockey players, Football players don't have to go to a penalty box for on the field infractions. Off the field, it's a different story. Russ Fox reports on a flag called by the feds on former Charger and Saint Jeffrey Lynn Walker:

Mr. Walker purportedly became involved with a resort in China. He solicited funds from investors. Somehow, those funds went from a bank in Las Vegas to a bank in Mississippi to his own bank account and were used for buying personal items like a Hummer. The funds didn’t make it toward the Chinese resort.
The money did not go toward paying the Internal Revenue Service. That’s a problem because all income is taxable, even illegal income.

No yardage, no loss of down, reset the game clock for up to 25 years.
